OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM -- More C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft and
airmen arrived at Ganci Air Base, Kyrgyzstan, recently to support the
war on terrorism. The additional aircraft will enhance the 376th Air
Expeditionary Wing's ability to conduct airlift missions supporting
ground forces in Afghanistan. Hercules aircraft can take off and land
on austere runways where re-supply by air is important. In service
since 1959, the aircraft has a payload capacity of nearly 45,000
pounds. (Photo by Senior Airman Ashley Center)
